Summary: Covers the landscape of supply chain management
Review: As an Consultant and an Information Technology Project Manager, I have to get up to speed on new industries in hurry. If only I had such a tool in other industries. This book was great. After spending just three days reading the book, I had enough knowledge to be credible with the transportation industry people I was going to work with. In fact, their "school of hard knocks" learning could only hope to make those with 30+ years of experience, have as wide ranging a knowledge as I acquired with this book. This book is for anyone wanting to quickly elevate themselves in the area of Logistics.

Summary: Logistics for the MBA
Review: This book was considered the "qualitative" text at Carnegie Mellon's Graduate School of Industrial Administration as opposed to other more "quantitative" logistical text books available. This book does a great job discussing the executive and managerial aspects of logistics management. Some of the book topics include: basic logistics, logistical operations,customer service,supply chain relationships, global logistics, resources, forecasting, inventory strategy and material handling. It provides several real-world examples which are quite valuable. If you are looking for an executive-level logistics book this is great. If you're a logistics manager who needs learn how to run a linear program to optimize your distribution routing, find another text.
